I want to thank Beverly for this very interesting Ways to Use it Challenge today. We didn't get to do fun stuff like this when I took art in school eons ago. I went to bed last night angry and sad and woke up the same way this morning. I needed something that would help to calm me. So I put on some meditation music and did this Zentangle and it did help to calm me and move me. Art is a wonderful way to protect our innocence. I loved adding in just a touch of color and then picking that up in the card.
I doodled the black square and then stamped the flower onto pink cs and cut it out and popped it up on foam. I used the same flower stamp on the DSP.

I don't know if you meant it....hard to tell with these Zentangle designs...but I see a big snake going thru your card right by the sentiment. With the sentiment, I equated the snake I see with the Garden of Eden = evil. Your card is very evocotive to me.

I'm glad this worked as therapy for you - it's awful to wake up feeling bad. For me there's a bit of a sixties feel to this - flower power. I think music is more relaxing for me, I am not a natural doodler.
